Use of Blacklight as Visual Stimulation for People with Profound Mental Retardation and Multiple Handicaps.
Potenski, Donald H.
Mental Retardation, v31 n2 p111-15 Apr 1993
Nineteen people (ages 11-21) with profound mental retardation and multiple handicaps were given visual stimulation in a blacklight environment. Results indicated that students performed better under conditions of blacklight than normal light for tracking and reaching, as the blacklight removed distracting stimuli and exaggerated critical features.
